It was incredibly interesting reading this and seeing in print the importance of “transitional relationships.” I find it funny and almost endearing that Gullo and Church remind people that having ‘friends with benefits’ is perhaps one of the most rewarding parts about going through loveshock. I feel that today, a lot of people villainize “hookup culture”, without ever actually going through heartbreak themselves. Sex is a powerful thing- combined with love, well, that combination is rare and not all entirely necessary. I feel that anyone who has gone through heartbreak in their lives (to the point of insomnia, restless thoughts, not eating etc.) NEEDS to read this book. It makes you realize how your mind and heart worked at the time, and how having your heart broken is actually one of the key experiences to living a life well-lived. (In fact- don’t even stop at one heartbreak, keep going like I have! I’d say 5 should be the bare minimum to atleast feel like you know your way around the block.)

Great description of the steps and process needed to unravel a breakup and move on, thoroughly recommend it for both sides of the equation!

Sobre mi forma de puntuar:
1- Mal libro, no lo disfruté, no me enseñó nada, no lo recomendaría, mejor habría sido dedicar mi tiempo a otra cosa.
2- Pasable, aprueba, me aportó a algún nivel, pero poca cosa.
3- Disfrutable, podría recomendarlo a ciertas personas.
4- Muy disfrutable, ha hecho que me cuestionase cosas y ampliado mi perspectiva del mundo y/o lo considero con valor artístico. Lo recomendaría sin duda a ciertas personas.
5- De mis favoritos, me ha cambiado y dado mucho en qué pensar, obra maestra. Muy recomendable.
